Freddie Roach says GGG handpicks and doesnt sell tickets

[Rip Chudd]

Hmm. 8500 tickets out of 9000 seats, his first time at MSG, against an unknown Aussie...... sounds pretty solid to me






How does Golovkin "handpick?" Guys are lining up to fight him, right?

Golovkin did not sell that many tickets. Those reports were proven false. Heck they even had an article on this site saying it was bogus.

Well he certainly doesn't handpick opponents!

He fought the best available opponent on July 26th

He has hand picked picked a few cherries. Ishida and Adama for example.

Quit using the floyd excuse. So ppl should only fight other fighters with the same size fan base that makes sense. If golovkin doesnt sell then what does that make andy lee and Sergio Martinez. Both of them sell jack ****. And i guarentee cotto will make more fighting ggg.

I'm not using any excuses. I'm just agreeing with what Roach said and explaining why he is right.

Come on, ...... everyone knew that Manny was going to fight Cotto who had beat Mosley anyways. Manny and Cotto were TR fighters and Cotto brought in the money that Mosley would not have ..... It happened a few fights later but Mosley was already way past his prime.

BTW - If Mosley said yes to Roach's demands, it still would have been Cotto .....

Lol.......

Fixed it for you.

It didn't need fixing. If Cotto is too small to be middleweight champ then step down from the title instead of changing the world's middleweight title into the Jr. middleweight title. The same thing goes for Mayweather not fighting the best 154 pounders at the full weight of 154. GGG is the real middleweight champion and now he is fighting Cotto's mandatory middleweight challenger while Cotto decides which 154 pounder he will fight for his 160 pound title. You know damn well it's not right. It's BS.

Cotto won't fight GGG hence his team must come up with excuses
